This is great. I love people who a) have the stones to live down there and b) tell us about it, in pictures and/or words.

Also? The pic linked to "gross"? THE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!posted by WolfDaddy at 11:38 PM on August 11, 2004

What kind of assmunch takes a 12-string, notoriously hard to keep in tune, to the fucking South Pole? I mean, I'm sure that playing the guitar at *all* makes this guy a sex-god in his pasty-scientist circles, but seriously, if I could channel the thoughts of his guitar, itself, they would go something like this:

"You ASSHAT!"

P.S. Cute idea using the Pole as a slide, really, Jimi would be proud, but with those gloves on, it's pretty obvious he wasn't actually playing jack shit. This guy is King of the Doofi.posted by scarabic at 12:19 AM on August 12, 2004

Scarabic, Mr. Kaiser is a genuinely serious guitarist and ethnomusicologist. I'd be guessing, though, the guitar at the Pole was mostly for his own amusement and sanity. Check out his musical background at AllMusic.com.posted by jhiggy at 4:54 AM on August 12, 2004

Excellent post. This is the kind of thing I love most about Mefi.
Thanks for posting it euphorb.posted by a3matrix at 6:08 AM on August 12, 2004

Wolfdaddy, according to the title of the picture it depicts amphipods(?) eating a seal head.

I'm going to have nightmares about that. I just know it.posted by bshort at 7:04 AM on August 12, 2004

Why do people that want people to look at their photos insist upon posting them in a size too small for proper viewing? With regret, I avoid all sites that do this, no matter how tantalizing.posted by rushmc at 7:22 AM on August 12, 2004
